Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph with $|V|=n$ nodes and $|E|=m$ links, a subset $K \subseteq V$ of \emph{terminals}, a vector $p=(p_1,\ldots,p_m) \in [0,1]^m$ and a positive integer $d$, called \emph{diameter}. We assume nodes are perfect…
The incompressibility method is a counting argument in the framework of algorithmic complexity that permits discovering properties that are satisfied by most objects of a class. This paper gives a preliminary insight into Kolmogorov's…
Denote by $H$ the Halting problem. Let $R_U: = \{ x | C_U(x) \ge |x|\}$, where $C_U(x)$ is the plain Kolmogorov complexity of $x$ under a universal decompressor $U$. We prove that there exists a universal $U$ such that $H \in P^{R_U}$,…
The Kolakoski sequence is the unique infinite sequence with values in $\{1, 2\}$ and first term twems $1, 2, \ldots$ which equals the sequence of run-lengths of itself, we call this $K(1, 2).$ We define $K(m, n)$ similarly for $m+n$ odd. A…
By using the properties of the uniformly distributed sequences of real numbers on $(0,1)$, a short proof of a certain version of Kolmogorov strong law of large numbers is presented which essentially differs from Kolmogorov's original proof.
Each vertex of an arbitrary simple graph on $n$ vertices chooses $k$ random incident edges. What is the expected number of edges in the original graph that connect different connected components of the sampled subgraph? We prove that the…
Two infinite 0-1 sequences are called compatible when it is possible to cast out 0's from both in such a way that they become complementary to each other. Answering a question of Peter Winkler, we show that if the two 0-1-sequences are…
Fox, Gromov, Lafforgue, Naor, and Pach proved a regularity lemma for semi-algebraic $k$-uniform hypergraphs of bounded complexity, showing that for each $\epsilon>0$ the vertex set can be equitably partitioned into a bounded number of parts…
We initiate the theory of communication complexity of individual inputs held by the agents, rather than worst-case or average-case. We consider total, partial, and partially correct protocols, one-way versus two-way, with and without help…
We introduce a notion of complexity for systems of linear forms, called sequential Cauchy-Schwarz complexity, which is parametrized by two positive integers $k,\ell$ and refines the notion of Cauchy-Schwarz complexity introduced by Green…
Descriptive complexity theory aims at inferring a problem's computational complexity from the syntactic complexity of its description. A cornerstone of this theory is Fagin's Theorem, by which a graph property is expressible in existential…
The complexity $f(n)$ of an integer was introduced in 1953 by Mahler & Popken: it is defined as the smallest number of $1$'s needed in conjunction with arbitrarily many +, * and parentheses to write an integer $n$ (for example, $f(6) \leq…
Let $\Sigma$ be a countable alphabet. For $r\geq 1$, an infinite sequence $s$ with characters from $\Sigma$ is called $r$-quasi-regular, if for each $\sigma\in\Sigma$ the ratio of the longest to shortest interval between consecutive…
It is well-known that, given a probability distribution over $n$ characters, in the worst case it takes (\Theta (n \log n)) bits to store a prefix code with minimum expected codeword length. However, in this paper we first show that, for…
We investigate a particular choice of the Ford fundamental domain of the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(N)$ and define a notion of complexity $c(N)$ accordingly, which is a nonnegative integer and carries some information on the shape of the…
A large set of signals can sometimes be described sparsely using a dictionary, that is, every element can be represented as a linear combination of few elements from the dictionary. Algorithms for various signal processing applications,…
Muchnik's theorem about simple conditional descriptions states that for all strings $a$ and $b$ there exists a short program $p$ transforming $a$ to $b$ that has the least possible length and is simple conditional on $b$. In this paper we…
We define a new metric between natural numbers induced by the $\ell_\infty$ norm of their unique prime signatures. In this space, we look at the natural analog of the number line and study the arithmetic function $L_\infty(N)$, which…
We construct a universal decompressor $U$ for plain Kolmogorov complexity $\mathrm{C}_U$ such that the Halting Problem cannot be decided by any polynomial-time oracle machine with access to the set of random strings $R_{\mathrm{C}_U} = \{x…
We study partitions of Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} limits of classes of finite relational structures where the partitions are encoded by infinite binary sequences which are random in the sense of Kolmogorov, Chaitin and Solomonoff. It is shown that…
